Whatever style they represent, Drop’s bathroom furniture transforms the bathroom space in a unique ambiance of indisputable appeal.

Getting to know Drop

Drop was born out of the ambition and the entrepreneurial spirit of its founder. A unique combination of wood craftsmanship and passion for value creation, guided initial business steps in building and marketing early company’s bathroom furniture models in Athens, where it was initially established. Coping with and overcoming difficulties, inventing solutions, pausing and starting over, getting disappointed or excited with works progress, final designs of its own line of products came out and manufacturing of quality crafted bathroom furniture started.

In 1992 came the turning point when Drop was relocated in the industrial estate of Kalochori at the outskirts of Thessaloniki signaling Drop restructuring to a modern industrial unit. Spacious facilities of about 6.000m2, use of cutting-edge equipment and modern manufacturing procedures combined with recruitment of new skilled personnel, were the strong foundations for the booming growth of Drop that followed. At the same time great effort was invested in structuring a new commercial department to support the rapid development of business.

New product series, application of contemporary materials and design in developing products, cooperation with a new distribution channel category (DIY stores) and geographical expansion of the sales network that covers the whole Greece, resulted in an even greater market share and establishment of Drop as the major domestic supplier of the market.

In the middle of 2000s Drop started exploring foreign markets, conducting its first exporting activities in the neighboring countries, gaining experience in the new targeted field for developing its business.

In the spring of 2016, Drop made another major step forward relocating its premises to a new site in the Industrial Area of Sindos, close to Thessaloniki, installing a second up to date production line, operating in an industrial plant of 8,000 m2.

Today the company is ready to take up the challenges of an always more globalized and competitive market following, once again, the key words of its success: creativity, quality, consistency and sound strategy.
